===============================================

I had to preppare it in a specific way to get it to go.  It worked fine
after that - passes all tests, etc.  What I did was:

1]  Unpack Perl 4.0
2]  Run Config (Configure?)
3]  Patch the config'd source with the 3 patches
4]  Make a hints directory and move all the hints files into it.
    ( I just mv'd *.sh into hints then moved config.sh back out
      to the main directory - or something close to that - I don't
      have the source available to look at right now)
5]  Run Config again - I think I said the previous Config wasn't
      made on my system
6]  Make that sucka.  I don't recall any great difficulty during the
     make.  There were the normal ANSI warnings.

I made it on 2 machines, one of them had trouble with the groups test
There are 2 groups utilities in SVR4, AT&T and BSD.  So depending
on how you set up Perl and your PATH - you may have some trouble
there.
